Travails of Faith Alan J Delotavo

Publisher Marketing: Comments "The book is the articulation of your own religious experience, and writing it has probably been a kind of liberation for you .... Moreover, many of the things you say are connected to currents in contemporary religious thought. Moreover, there are today non-believers, even atheists, who insist on the importance of a spiritual life. Charles Taylor wrote ... that humble believers and spiritual non-believers have more in common that they do with the fundamentalists in their own tradition, Christian or atheist. Deep reflection on these important issues produces a calm joy." -Gregory Baum, Professor Emeritus, McGill University About the Book Hopeless, meaningless, and lost. That, at times, describes human life. But then out of the harsh cocoon of Earthly life, some people metamorphose into butterflies. They find hope and meaning and astonish with their fresh outlook on human life. Travails of Faith is a unique thrilling drama of people from varied walks of life with life-changing realizations. This potpourri of characters who travel through exotic getaways converges to a common thread of human search for meaning in life amid brokenness and confusion. At times, it will make you laugh; at other times, shed tears. However, in the end it will cheer you with its exhilarating unraveling of a fresh outlook on faith and human life that transcends traditional notions. Travails of Faith is dramatically entertaining, yet profoundly enlightening and deeply inspiring. A book that enhances one's sense of humanity.
